You're all a bunch of whiny faggots who rely on internet circlejerking to keep yourselves from slitting your wrist. Your inept corrupt view of the world is what makes adults view you as fucking retards.

Dude,
One: that's two sentences
And two: What the Hell man? What are you talking about? I, and most teens on this sub, am totally mentally and emotionally stable and just enjoy interacting with other kids our age. What's wrong with that

Funnyjunk is better than Reddit, 9gag is completely original, everyone here is funny, gay people are total faggots, black people are total niggers, 9/11 wasn't a conspiracy, and retarded people need to be put in a mental institution and euthanized.

Both the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association -- the two leading organizations for their professions -- reject the idea that the driving factor in determining one’s sexual orientation is personal choice.

A spokeswoman for the American Psychiatric Association -- which has about 36,000 members out of roughly 48,000 psychiatrists nationwide -- didn’t recall any significant internal dissension in recent years over the question of whether sexual orientation is a choice. Meanwhile, the American Psychological Association, which has 150,000 members, also considers it a "settled question" that homosexuality isn’t a choice, said Clinton W. Anderson, the associate executive director of the American Psychological Association and the director of its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender concerns office.(http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/jul/13/tim-pawlenty/tim-pawlenty-says-scientists-are-dispute-over-whet/)

I know I'm going to offend some people so in advance: I'm sorry, but can anyone please explain to me how people can be born gay? I'm honestly just wondering how, I'm not for nor against it, I'm just wondering. Thank you.

I am implying that people don't choose their sexuality, yes. I never chose to like girls, I just do.

You saying that you chose to be straight when you thought girls were the coolest thing ever, makes me think that you just hit puberty around that time and your body was wired to be heterosexual. "Huh, girls are really cool. I want to be straight so that I can be with them," right?

Not necessarily, no, but I can see where you're coming from. I was raised by girls and was always hearing "this guys hot, no this guy is!" and had the potential to be gay. In that sense, I would've. Then I turned five, saw a girl sitting by herself, and now the self-proclaimed ladies man I am today.

Wait, in that environment, if people do decide their sexuality, you would logically have decided to be gay because everyone else around you liked men. The reason you didn't is because your body is wired to be heterosexual.

But yeah, to answer your original question, "they just are." Sorry, that's about the best I can do. Same with transgender people and whatnot; they're just born that way (even though many might wish they weren't).
